Substitute Bride Phoenix, The Tyrant's Pampered Demon Empress - Chapter 458

Chapter 458: Steak

After a short while, a maid carried a steak in and placed it on the table.

Chu Qingchuan impatiently grabbed her chopsticks. After she swallowed a piece of the aromatic steak, she sighed in satisfaction. “How delicious! It tastes so good, that my tongue’s going to melt.”

Yu Wuxia stepped inside and couldn’t help but smile when he saw the happy and satisfied look on Chu Qingchuan’s face.

Without warning, he grabbed the chopsticks from Chu Qingchuan’s hand.

Chu Qingchuan immediately looked back to find Yu Wuxia stood right behind her with her chopsticks in hand and a flirtatious smile.

Although Chu Qingchuan was going crazy on the inside, she knew who the person in front of her was. And so, she bolted to her feet and curtsied. “Greetings Master.”

Yu Wuxia smiled and said, “Rise.”

Just then, he took a seat, picked up a piece of steak and put it in his mouth. He chewed and sighed, “Delicious! Superbly aromatic, melts in your mouth, hot and spicy. It really has a great aftertaste.”

As she stood behind Yu Wuxia, drool was about to pour from Chu Qingchuan’s mouth and she couldn’t help but purse her lips and gulp.

Yu Wuxia finished the piece of steak and continued to eat another. He ate so carefreely that he seemed to have forgotten about Chu Qingchuan was standing behind him.

Chu Qingchuan wanted to cry but the tears wouldn’t come out. That was the steak she had waited almost half an hour for. She never imagined that Yu Wuxia would steal it after she had just one bite. For someone who treasured food, it was truly worse than taking several slaps to the face.

Yu Wuxia suddenly turned his head and put on a kind smile. “Chuchu, why do you look so miserable? Did something happen? Tell me, I’ll help you think of a way to solve your problem.”

Chu Qingchuan greedily licked the corner of her mouth and smiled awkwardly. “It… It’s nothing. Go ahead and eat as much as you please. I don’t mind at all.”

Yu Wuxia almost laughed out loud, but then he immediately turned his head and controlled his emotions. A thought crossed her mind, and his face instantly fell.

It had been three years. This was the first time that he’s felt the urge to laugh out loud.

Ever since his brother passed away, he rarely laughed. People knew that Yu Wuxia’s brother, Yu Wuhen had passed away, but they didn’t know that the person who actually died was Yu Wuxia.

Chu Qingchuan saw that Yu Wuxia sat silent and still, and furrowed her brows in curiosity. Then she stared at the steak on the plate and smacked her lips.

She was about to die from her cravings. What should she do?

Chu Qingchuan stretched her neck out repeatedly, hoping to smell the steak and relieve her from her craving.

She accidentally touched the chair and it made a sound.

In a moment of shock, Chu Qingchuan immediately stood still and didn’t dare move an inch.

But her eyes would still fall on the steak every so often.

Yu Wuxia heard the sound and snapped back to his senses. He let out a soft sigh. The past was the past. There was no use in thinking about it anymore.

He picked up the chopsticks, took another bite, and his mood got better.

But Chu Qingchuan’s mood became even sadder. That piece of steak should have been hers.

Yu Wuxia smiled flirtatiously. “Chuchu, from now on, if there’s something that you don’t know, you can ask me. Just take it as my reimbursement for eating your steak.”

Chu Qingchung really wanted to say that she didn’t want reimbursement for the steak. However, she didn’t know Yu Wuxia as a person, so she didn’t dare speak freely. All she could do was reluctantly reply, “Yes, Master.”

Yu Wuxia picked up the steak, put it in his mouth and continued to slowly chew.

Seeing someone gulp beside him seemed to have made the steak taste better.

Chu Qingchuan really wanted to cry. He’s almost done! What was she going to do?

With each bite Yu Wuxia took, her heart felt like it was being stabbed.
